Seeing some railroad scenic models, I stumbled upon some nice vehicles in 1/87 with seemingly good spoked wheels. They are "Jordan Products Highway Miniatures" and there are several American cars and trucks and also some horse-drawn vehicles. Could these kits be a source for well cast...

Does anyone know what the track plates on a Baby Holt looked like? I can't find a photo that's clear enough. The plates on the Schneider CA are very different from those on the 75hp Holt. Does that mean that the Baby was different from the 75 or that Schneider designed new plates when the running gear was m...

For the Emhar 1/35 Mark IV tanks I wanted to cut off the plastic shafts on the machine guns and fit hollow tubing in their place, along with another tube inside for the gun barrel, which would add tremendously to the realism.? Anyone else tried it yet, and if so, how did they do it?
Anyone know how the rounded angle iron?frame of the outside plates at the sprockets? each end of the tank are formed and made, seems to be quite a tricky task for a modeler making one of these tanks in a metal construction. ?Are there any books devoted showing the constuction of these tanks at the factor...
Reading the book Beute tanks volume 1,(very good book)?there is mention about the British tanks Mk IVs painted in a brown colour that looks like the results from a babies nappy.
